Party tense after ignoring leader of discrimination report (8)
I believe the answer is:
document
'report' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'party tense after ignoring leader of discrimination' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'party' could be 'do' (do is a kind of party) and 'do' is found within the answer.
'tense' could be 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries) and 't' is present in the answer.
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for document that I've seen before include "Piece of written matter" , "Evidence" , "Will, for example" , "Don cut me (anag)" , "Written record" .)
